About Brittany
Dr. Brittany Collins is an LPC, LPCC with ten years of clinical experience and a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. She practices in Ohio and works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and parenting strains. Her profile also notes work with LGBT clients and people facing relationship and family challenges, including family of origin issues.
She uses practical, conversational methods in sessions. Clients talk through current problems and identify patterns that link back to earlier family roles and expectations. Sessions focus on skills for managing emotions, changing unhelpful thoughts, and improving communication with others.
Brittany blends client-centered listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on emotionally-focused and existential approaches when a discussion about meaning, values, or attachment comes up. That mix lets her shift between exploring feelings and practicing concrete coping strategies.
Her background includes work with adults, young adults, athletes, and coaches in individual and group settings. That experience informs practical tools for managing performance anxiety, career transitions, and caregiver stress. She names specific focus areas such as abandonment, blended family issues, body image, codependency, and fatherhood concerns.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. The therapist helps people set clear steps and checks progress over time. To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching process to schedule an initial meeting and confirm current session options.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative working relationship. The therapist focuses on understanding your perspective and helping you articulate goals, which can help when old family roles still shape daily life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to change thinking and routine responses.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful when intense emotions or relationship conflicts arise from family dynamics or attachment patterns.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. Changes can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Confirm the current session formats before booking through the site matching steps. Online options can reduce travel, make scheduling simpler, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, which may help maintain consistency while working on family of origin patterns.
